13. He's beggin for it.

Just resign already, Assface.

There’s no money for you to skim off of your impeachment.

2. On advice from the constitutional scholar Kevin McCarthy

[dchill]

10. Two errors: he's not Constitutional and NOT a scholar.

3. trumpco will not comply with anything after a vote either - why should they nt

[BigmanPigman]

6. You said it!

[dalton99a]

7. Precisely

[oswaldactedalone]

4. Suck it Donnie

You’re going to be impeached, should be removed, then indicted for a raft of crimes. Nobody gives a fuck about your conditions.

5. Don't give an inch Dems! Keep making him squirm!!

8. It's just a delay tactic. If there had been such a vote, there would be a *different* BS argument

as to why their compliance was unnecessary. The Trump WH's plan is delay, delay, delay. Every time they have to go to court, they win (even when they lose) because they got the delay they were looking for.

9. Thank you for your interest in the proceedings of the House of Representatives, Mr. President

But as you know, the House is run by a majority vote through the office of the Speaker of the House. We will give all due consideration to your . . . letter. Enclosed please find a copy of the Constitution of the United States for your perusal during your Executive Time while you wait for the House's response. Don't hold your breath.

11. +1. Pelosi is following House rules. She should tell him to go fuck himself

[lunatica]

15. She'll probably do exactly that

In her own inimical ladylike way.

[MyOwnPeace]

17. Yep - she would do that!

[Nevermypresident]

12. LOL

[lunatica]

14. Madam Speaker will be the person who decides what is to be done.

He might as well be howling at the Moon like the lunatic he is. What a fucking dunce he is. And whoever is advising him is twice the dunce.

16. Sorry Donald

I believe the Speaker of the House has the “absolute right” to tell you to fuck off.

[MyOwnPeace]

18. Oh, yeah!!!

[Sucha NastyWoman]

19. The reason he wants a vote on it

He believes a vote to impeach will hurtDemocratic Congressmen in districts that voted for him, and he wants them to go on record. Apparently they have some delusion that they can take the House back

[lunatica]

20. I think he's just trying to put on a show of bluster

It’s all an act to look manly. Mucho Macho.
